2x2 VGA Switcher from ComputerCableStore™. Our 2x2 VGA Switcher enables you to connect and access two computers using one workstation equipped with dual VGA monitors and one USB keyboard/mouse. Analog video, keyboard/mouse control and audio are "switched" for each computer, providing you with an easy and effective way to alternate access to greater amounts of data at the touch of a button.Dual monitors, in this case, refers to the use of two monitors that are running an extended desktop setup so that the entire digital image is extended over two monitors providing a greater digital desktop on which to work. The 2x2 switcher will not mirror the same desktop but will provide support for dual displays.You simply connect both computer's VGA video, USB and audio ports to the 2x2 VGA Switcher's inputs using the supplied cables. Then you connect both VGA displays, the USB keyboard/mouse and an optional audio device to the Switcher's outputs. Once powered and connected, you switch between computers by key switch or remotely using contact closure remote control. In information technology, Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus standard to connect devices to a host computer. USB was designed to allow many peripherals to be connected using a single standardized interface socket and to improve plug and play capabilities by allowing hot swapping; that is, by allowing devices to be connected and disconnected without rebooting the computer or turning off the device. Other convenient features include providing power to low-consumption devices, eliminating the need for an external power supply; and allowing many devices to be used without requiring manufacturer-specific device drivers to be installed. The term Video Graphics Array (VGA) refers specifically to the display hardware first introduced with the IBM PS/2 line of computers in 1987, but through its widespread adoption has also come to mean either an analog computer display standard, the 15-pin D-subminiature VGA connector or the 640×480 resolution itself. While this resolution has been superseded in the personal computer market, it is becoming a popular resolution on mobile devices.
